RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I'm no longer on WP.  The three auctions that I posted have expired, so that's it with that.  I thought there might have been enough of an initial surge of interest to justify a few auctions being up, but I'm not going to list anything else since the interest seems to be either stalled or going in reverse.

[/quote]

The Alexa "reach" traffic graphs represent the number of web surfers out of every 1 million web surfers who visited a site. In Wagglepop's case, on the peak day 40 out of every 1,000,000 web surfers visited Wagglepop. 

For comparison:

Yahoo 279,500 of every 1,000,000 web surfers visited Yahoo
Ebay  38,285 of every 1,000,000 web surfers visited Ebay
LiveDeal 5,587 of every 1,000,000 surfers visited LD
Wagglepop-peak day 40 of every 1,000,000 surfers visited WP
Wagglepop-yesterday 7 of every 1,000,000 surfers visited WP

The Alexa numbers aren't totally reliable, but they give a good general overview of a site's traffic in relation to others.

Aaahhh. So about one out of every 900 surfers who visits LiveDeal, which I've never heard of before, visited Wagglepop yesterday. That makes more sense.

LiveDeal, which I've never heard of before, [/quote]

It's a classifieds site. Two of the founders are former eBay executives. 

Quote:Rajesh Navar is the founder and CEO of LiveDeal, one of the fastest-growing online classifieds platforms, to which he brings over 12 years experience building high technology and Internet companies. As an original member of the engineering and management teams at eBay and other Internet companies, Rajesh is one of the pioneers in e-commerce. Prior to founding LiveDeal, Rajesh was the 35th employee and a senior member of the engineering team at eBay where he founded and built eBay’s search team, helping build eBay into one of the world’s most successful and profitable e-commerce companies.

http://info.livedeal.com/aboutLD/management.html

Quote:Since launching, LiveDeal has quickly become one of the top 10 most visited online classifieds sites in the U.S. with more than one million unique visitors each month and $3 billion worth of goods for sale.

Thanks for the info, Regic. I'll have to look at it closer. Does have a look and feel a little like ebay, doesn't it? I use CraigsList quite a bit. I need to check this out.

RE: Wagglepop 2: Deja Vu as Auction Site That Left Sellers Stranded Reopens
I run Zen cart on my SE site. It was a bear to set up, but not as bad as cubecart which I tried first. My main problem with it is that the URL's are not SEO friendly. They include the symbol & which is a big no-no, are very long and are composed of garbage, not keywords. Example:

http://tibetan-jewelry.net/shop/index.ph...oduct_info&cPath
=3&products_id=22&zenid=244b9398ddcb493af907951d65fd9e2f

I think the "zenid" part is a unique identifer to track each session which, as I understand it, means that each time a search engine visits the page they get a different url --- SEO death.

There were some comments on the forum about this - a great forum, BTW, but the folks designing it are computer people, not salesmen, so it does not seem to get through.

I built a HTML page for my index.htm that had big pictures and a good bit of text, for the benefit of the search engines, but 7/8 of the visitors get sent to index.php, which is part of zen cart (and a level down!). The photos at index.php are tiny and clumped together on the bottom of the page. I can't put in more text because it would push the photos even further down. If I was better at PHP I could fix it, but I am not.

Largely because of TulipTools all my sites had PR2. Except my zen cart. For the longest time it was PR 1, finally just made it to 2. Although it could be something else, I think the problem is the junk URL's.

I expect zen cart is better than the other carts out there, and I do not plan to change to something else. But it could be better.

Have you tried the SEO mod?  Isn't there one out there? (I haven't gotten that far yet!)

Cube is also one of my discards, but the one thing I really did like about it was an  SEO mod that gave you www.myshopname.com/category-product-name type urls.
